Clear up continues outside Hong Kong university

(20 Nov 2019) Workers on Wednesday began clearing up debris outside Hong Kong Polytechnic University even as a small group of protesters remained holed up inside.

The group of protesters who refused to leave the university were the remnants of hundreds who took over the campus for several days.

They won’t leave because they would face arrest.

Police have set up a cordon around the area to prevent anyone from escaping.

Since a police siege of the campus began Sunday, more than 1,000 people have been arrested and hundreds of injured treated at hospitals, authorities said.
